A mTORC1-mediated cyst(e)ine sensing mechanism governing GPX4 synthesis and ferroptosis

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2021
Ferroptosis is a cell death mechanism triggered by lipid peroxidation. Our recent study linked cyst(e)ine availability with glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) protein synthesis and ferroptosis mitigation via a Rag-mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 ...

Intracellular Distribution of Cystine in Cystine-Loaded Proximal Tubules [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Research, 1994
Cellular cystine loading with cystine dimethyl ester has been shown to inhibit transport in proximal convoluted tubules perfused in vitro and decrease the rate of oxygen consumption in suspensions of proximal tubules. The present study was designed to examine the intracellular distribution of cystine in this model of the Fanconi syndrome of cystinosis ...
